Brisbane Bike Fit - Did you get one? If so, where?
Postby Shpox » Sat Mar 12, 2016 12:07 am
There seem to be some 2D/3D options, I'm not sure if Guru Fit or Retul are worth more than a 2D fit.
Taylor Cycles does a CLS fit for $99
A friend also recommended Optima who does one for about the same
Bikeology does one for $249 inc. pedal analysis
Fusion does the Guru fit though not sure about cost
Nick Formosa does one with Retul for about $349.
Ultimately I'm not looking for a fancy pants readout to take home, but rather someone that can use their experience to examine if I'm set up correctly, with or without tech.
Would love any insight.

Value wise, I found the Physio as the best option (I can PM you the guy I saw on multiple occasions). As I'm friends with the physio, I had him fix a few things up around the end of last year after I cramped up during a race. I also recently saw a 3D fitter after my team was given a discounted rate. From the 3D fit, I didn't have any large changes in my bike position, so the physio was pretty much on point, saddle height, cleat position all stayed the same, however seat position and handle bar set up was slightly changed to make me in a more aggressive position.
So, I'd suggest not worrying about the Retul fits until you're really at the pointy end of your riding, i.e. Racing or having pain related issues not solved from the bike fits.
Also, similar to the physio, if you have health care, you may find you'll get some cash back from people who offer fits, so that may reduce the price you'll end up paying as well.

I mention seat adjustment because personally i prefer the seat sloping down towards the front quite a bit more than any of the formal setup material i have read. If i ride with the seat level iam getting numbness in the nether region. Sloping down also makes my 2 bum bones sit nicely on the softer padded area of the saddle.
Iam thinking getting a bikefit might feel similar in many ways to getting a golf swing checked out by a pro. In the latter example the theory is often sound but it doesnt mean it always feels right?
additionally a bloke i used to work with who's daughter races in europe was telling me about the UCI scrutineering regarding bike setups which would be a factor in setups.
Whatever way it turns out i looks forward to hearing how your experience plays out shpox.

Good luck with that - many have found the Arione just doesn't work for them.Shpox wrote:I'm trying to get my Arione dialed in...

There is a significant difference between static and motion fitting, 2D & 3D fitting takes 3hrs and is normally $325.oo

Have recently started to get some knee pain and think it may have something to do with my setup on the mtb after getting new pedals.
